On Monday, we honored Nassau County Police Department Officer Ian Fogarty, whose selfless valor is an inspiration. While off duty with his family on July 16, he saw eight teenagers caught in a rip current at Cupsogue Beach County Park in #WesthamptonBeach. Without hesitation, he grabbed a body board and swam 150 feet to rescue two teens who were unable to escape the current.
His efforts were heroic and lifesaving, and I am forever grateful that Officer Fogarty is serving this County. Nassau County PBA
